Used Car Trade-In
FAQs

Should I mention my
trade-in vehicle before negotiating the price of a new car?

Although our Blue Springs Hyundai dealership offers the best
trade-in payouts in the area, industry experts believe that you should hold off
on mentioning your trade-in until after
you've agreed upon a price on your new vehicle. Doing so allows you to get the
lowest price on a vehicle because the dealer hasn't taken into consideration
the trade-in amount.

But don't tell anyone we said that.

How can I be sure
that the trade-in estimate I've received is good?

You have several options here, all of which are fine.

First, shop around for trade-in estimates. Mention to XX dealer that YY dealer has already offered $ZZ
for your trade-in; if they can match that payout, they may earn your business.
(Hint: If you're in the Kansas City area, you'll find that we offer above
market value for most trade-in vehicles.)

Can I negotiate my
trade-in appraisal with the dealership?

Absolutely! A good rule of thumb is to be prepared to
discuss numbers. Give the vehicle a good wash and bring maintenance records, a
list of aftermarket add-ons, and any other records of work done to show that
the car is in good condition. Dealers appreciate now having to do the
additional legwork to prove the quality of a vehicle.

Also, visit dealerships that sell your vehicle's make. Those
dealers tend to pay a bit more for their own brands, as they can more easily
resell those due to their inherent shopping audience. For instance, if you have
a used
Hyundai in Kansas City, visit our used car dealership in Blue Springs to
get a great trade-in offer.

Should I trade in my
car or sell it privately?

The decision to trade in or sell a car as a third-party
seller boils down to one thing: convenience.

When trading in a vehicle at a dealership, you don't have to
worry about the hassle that's naturally involved with a private sale. While you
may get a few hundred dollars more selling your vehicle privately, it's often
not worth that stress. Trading the car in at a dealership is usually a better
option if you're looking to upgrade.

Can I trade in junk
cars or old vehicles that don't run well?

For the most part, yes, though you'll probably scoff at the
trade-in value. Your estimate is determined by the condition of the vehicle and
demand for that particular make and model. If your vehicle is of lackluster
quality, you may not get as much for it when trading it to a dealership. If in
doubt, use our trade-in calculator or speak with a member of our staff.

Is it possible to
trade in a financed car if I owe money on it?

If you have positive equity in that vehicle, your trade-in
cash can be used to pay off the loan balance. Otherwise, you'll have to speak
with one of our Blue
Springs auto financing specialists to discuss your options. That car loan
contract won't just disappear after your trade-in!
